Hatz AI raises $24 million to sell AI to small businesses through their IT providers

Hatz AI has raised $24 million in a Series A round led by Nadia Partners, with Vestigo Ventures and The Private Shares Fund also investing, SiliconANGLE reported.

Hatz AI does not sell to small businesses directly. It sells a platform to managed service providers (MSPs), the outside firms that already run IT for many small companies, so they can offer AI under their own brands. The platform routes requests to frontier models, tracks spending and applies governance rules, and comes with ready-made agents for jobs such as ticket triage, marketing content, sales lead qualification and bookkeeping.

The company says its active MSP partner base tripled over the past year, its network covers all 50 US states, nine Canadian provinces and nine other countries, and staff grew from 14 to more than 60. CEO Jimmy Hatzell said the money will go into its model-routing engine and into hiring forward-deployed engineers and AI researchers.
